Does your company plan to operate in Russia? Specialists from PRIORITET Law Firm will help you quickly accredit the branch.

A foreign company cannot independently sell goods, organize production or provide services in the Russian Federation directly from the central office. For these purposes, you must choose one of three options: open a subsidiary, branch or representative office in Russia. At the same time, the procedure for creating divisions of an enterprise is different than for domestic organizations. Professionals of the PRIORITET company will accredit branches of foreign companies in a short time and at a favorable cost. This procedure is mandatory by law, which somewhat complicates the entire process due to the large number of required documents and increases the time it takes to enter a new market. However, turning to specialists who are familiar with the nuances of Russian legislation and the peculiarities of the work of government agencies allows you to bypass bureaucratic barriers and speed up the completion of formal procedures.

We were very lucky to choose this company: when communicating with the employees of the PRIORITET company, we found out that the specialists have extensive experience in working on accreditation with companies from many countries of the world, in addition, the company’s lawyers speak fluent English and draft documents on two languages. Despite the relatively high price, we were assured that in case of refusal, the insurance company would pay us compensation to cover the expenses incurred. This was not offered to us anywhere else, and we decided to entrust this work to the specialists of the PRIORITET company. During the work on the order, it turned out that the set had shortcomings that were previously invisible: this concerned the translation, names, and legalization of some of the documents. All this was resolved in a short time; at each stage of the work, the lawyers gave us detailed advice and kept us informed of events. As a result, the accreditation of the representative office was successful, for which we express our deep gratitude to the PRIORITET company.

Registers of foreign countries

Preliminary verification of a potential business partner is a reliable way to protect yourself from possible risks and financial losses. When it comes to cooperation with a Russian organization, there is always the opportunity to contact the head directly, request supporting registration documents, or seek help from the Russian state registry. But what if you do business internationally and the legal entity is registered in another country?

Registers of legal entities of other countries are available on our website. Here you can check information about a foreign counterparty for free by contacting the state register of a specific country. You just need to search by TIN and make sure that such an organization really exists. To obtain more complete information, an extract from the European Business Register, where the business partner you are interested in is registered, will help. With this document you will be able to:

• ensure the authenticity and relevance of company registration information;
• find out whether the legal address declared by the counterparty is valid;
• make sure that the company is still operating today and is not liquidated;
• check information about the founders of the company;
• find out the type of activity of the counterparty;
• find out the financial performance indicators and the size of the authorized capital;
• obtain information about shareholders and managers;
• find out about changes made to your registration data.

The extract from the foreign state register received from us contains the most up-to-date information, since our company is an official partner of the European Business Register and receives all data directly without intermediaries. For each country, you can request different documents for the company you are interested in.

Having an extract from the register of foreign states will make it much easier for you to prove your case in the event that a foreign counterparty fails to fulfill its obligations under the contract.

An extract from the European Business Register will also help if it is necessary to conclude a deal for the supply of goods to the territory of Russia.

Legislative Reviews

In addition to the tax authorities, customs officers are also interested in questionable transactions. To ensure that your business does not take risks, and that you do not ultimately suffer financial damage, it is worth checking the state registry of the country in which your partner falls under tax jurisdiction.

Before concluding various agreements, make sure of the very fact of the existence of a foreign organization and the right of its representatives to sign contracts, so that in the future you can rest assured that the transaction is clean. Select the country you are interested in from the list and read the data provided by the register of foreign states.

FAQ:

Accreditation of branches and representative offices of foreign legal entities

From August 22, 2016, the register of accredited branches and representative offices of foreign legal entities became available online (hereinafter referred to as “ online registry"), which is maintained by the registration authority along with the previously available Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (USRIP) and the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (USRLE).

The online register contains information about branches and representative offices of a foreign legal entity, as well as basic information about the foreign legal entity.

Thus, among other things, it contains information about the date of entry into the register of information about the accreditation of branches and representative offices of foreign legal entities, about the types of economic activities of branches and representative offices in the Russian Federation, about the head of branches and representative offices, about the number of foreign citizens who are employees of branches and representative offices .

Please note that the statement received through the online registry is not an official document and, based on our experience, there is currently a slight delay in changes to branches and representative offices. Thus, obtaining an official statement from the tax authority is still a more reliable way to confirm information regarding branches and representative offices of foreign legal entities.

The online register is posted and available on the website of the Federal Tax Service.

How are registries useful?

From September 1, 2016, when confirming and updating information about a client, including regarding persons authorized to act on behalf of a legal entity, branch or representative office, banks use information from public registers.

This innovation may eliminate the need for clients to provide a paper statement to the bank to confirm and update the required information.

This became possible due to amendments to the Federal Law “On Banks and Banking Activities” introduced by Federal Law No. 191-FZ of June 23, 2016.
